O Queen of peerless majesty, María!
Thou glorious Queen of victory, María!
All to thee subjected lies,
All creation lifts its eyes:

(Refrain)

O stand beside us,
Protect and guide us
In death and life,
In ev'ry strife, María!
O morning star that scatters night, María!
Upon our darkness spread thy light, María!
When we toss on stormy waves,
Thou the star that leads and saves:

(Refrain)

O stand beside us,
Protect and guide us
In death and life,
In ev'ry strife, María!
O heaven's portal, Virgin pure, María!
An entrace safe for us procure, María!
Show us mercy when we die,
Lead us to thy Son on high:

(Refrain)

O stand beside us,
Protect and guide us
In death and life,
In ev'ry strife, María! .
